Attorney Anthony Figliola, Jr. of Wilmington, DE; thief

 
The Delaware Supreme court found Anthony guilty of the following misconduct.
 
  1. Failed to transfer firm funds out of real estate account in timely manner
  2. Failed to properly maintain books and records
  3. Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation
  4. Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice
  5. Misappropriated (stole) client and firm funds
Anthony’s partner discovered that he had been issuing checks to himself directly from the firm’s real estate account, totaling over $24,500 during a seven year period. Many of the disbursements made by Anthony from the real estate account were disguised as payments for fees he claimed he was owed.
 
In addition, Anthony disbursed $8,000 in funds belonging to one client to satisfy a judgment for the benefit of another client, without authorization, and transferred other funds contrary to a client’s instructions.
 
As a consequence of his misconduct, apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Delaware Supreme Court punished Anthony by gifting him with a complimentary 180-day suspension of his law license.
 
Because Attorney Misfits in Delaware are held to a much lower standard of conduct then everyone else, Anthony was never criminally charged for grand theft.
 
As we speak (ca. January 2013) Anthony practices at 1813 Marsh Road in Wilmington, Delaware.
